A few years ago, I was interviewed by my buddy, Jody, for her podcast – Only In LA. I agreed on the spur of the moment to be on her podcast to support a fellow LA weirdo. The interview is a little weird and wandering but fun. Some of the places I talk about can be found Only in LA which makes it kind of fun.
I touch briefly on the how and I why of coming to Los Angeles. It is a longer story than what I go into in the podcast but this is the highlight reel that I generally share.
If you want to hear what I sound like, take a listen. You can hear Jody’s pug running around in the background and me laughing A LOT.
